five things: a very short dramatic play

Scene: A phone conversation

Our players: 
MELISSA, half-asleep and isn't so much holding the phone to her ear as much as she has the phone balanced on the side of her head. 
MATT, similarly delirious. 

MATT: I seem to remember a certain person saying they would write a five things post on their blog today.
MELISSA: Ummmm but I am le tired. Plus no one even reads my blog I don't think.
MATT: (mildly offended) *I* read your blog!
MELISSA: But you already know five things about me. You already know ALL of the things about me.
MATT: That's not true. I could stand to know five more things.
MELISSA: (pregnant pause)
MATT: C'mon....
MELISSA: Ugh ok I will tell you five things FINE:
  1. I like cats,
  2. dogs
  3. rabbits,
  4. ....ka... kangaroos, and
  5. um, babies.
MATT: Whoa, I didn't know you liked kangaroos.
MELISSA: Yeah I like them! They're cute. They hop all around and stuff and keep their babies in pockets?
MATT: Kangaroos are douchebags! They kick people in the face.
MELISSA: Oh...then I don't like them anymore. I changed my mind; I like ... fish. 
MATT: What kind of fish?
MELISSA: .....blue fish.
MATT: .... it's time to go to bed, isn't it?
MELISSA: zzzzzzzzz.
